shotgun is "home defence"? Surely the one thing you are guaranteed to mess up is your home! Plus is there any weapon that's slower to reload?

The point of a shotgun is to not worry about a slower reload, nor damaging your house. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee you that if you had someone invading your house, and you walked out with a shotgun and cocked it, you wouldn't even need it to be loaded. They would run. Shotguns have been ranked within the top 10 scariest noises a human can ever hear.

And on top of that(in a theoretical situation where you need to fire), for a person who never target practices with a pistol, you don't even need to aim with a shotgun.

I'd say these are more my style. I've shot far more arrows from more bows than all the guns and bullets I've shot put together. There's something nice about a good "thok" when the arrow hits the target.
